Already seeing companies skipping over #ChildhoodCancer Awareness Month (September) & choosing to go straight to "going Pink!โ As always, Children who are already deemed not profitable are also consistently being ignored by big brands. When will the lives of Children come first?

When #BrainCancer takes away your ability to speak, you find different ways to communicate. Our Ashley gave us the ๐๐ผ to let us know she was ok. Ashley stayed positive & so incredibly strong throughout her battle. Weโd be so grateful for a follow to keep our Ashleyโs story alive.
